It was very good skating today at Grand. The lower 1.5k of trails are groomed firm and wide. The upper loops haven't been groomed for a couple weeks, and have a few big icy patches. There is a classic track set around the lower 1.5k loop, it is very icy, though.

Upper loop at GANC is icy and thin and grooming may be done for the season on this section. Lower loop is freshly groomed with PB and set with a single track due to current snow conditions.

Fast yet comfortable ski conditions at Grand Avenue Nordic Center. The high temps and faster snow made it actually possible to maintain heart rate in lower ranges when desired - even on the way up the hill. Lower half of the loop looks like it had been groomed that morning, upper half not as recently but didn't yet need it. Great looking classic tracks (one or two) throughout as well. Hard base...the Nordic North Stars kiddos didn't put a dent in it.

GANC is in perfect condition. Deep, firm classic tracks freshly groomed. The skate deck looked pristine as well. Only 3K, but it does not get any better.

All the trails are in good shape. The classic track was laid around the entire system and the skate lane was wide and firm.

Well, we’re back from a little radio silence, and we’ve got good news! The fresh snow has done wonders to the center and the trails are looking some of the best they have all year. The upper loops which have been plagued by ice and water are groomed again with a classic track and full skate deck and look in good shape, but there are still some wet spots to look out for. Tracks are deep and the deck is firm, so bundle up and come out for a ski!
